A runner at mile 50 of an ultramarathon charges their Garmin 310 XT while moving. They note the Suunto watch lasts 26 hours but the Garmin drains faster because of the heart-rate monitor and Garmin Connect. They're pushing toward mile 65.

Chapters

I'm at Camp Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. Uh, yeah, I just did a really good 5 miles actually. Around mile 50 I had a super rough spot, as in, uh, why am I doing this? And I had to get my game plan back in it. I had to get my mind straight, and I did. And then I ran 5 really good miles, and I just took a walk break. And right now I'm charging my Garmin. I have a Suunto with me with a 26-hour battery life, and then the Garmin is a little bit shorter because I'm using a heart rate monitor, so I got a little battery and my Garmin Connect. So, uh, yeah, that's about it. It's kind of a boring part, it's right next to the freeway, but it's, uh, an important part because once we get out of here— once I get out of here, I keep saying we— once I get out of here, I'm at mile 65, and that's really progress. So got to take it bit by bit, small steps, and I will get there.
